A first of its kind, still standing.
Lunshan Elementary holds a distinctive place in Hualien County's educational history: founded in 1917 under Japanese rule as the "Lunbushan Indigenous Children's Education Institute" (崙布山蕃童教育所), it was the very first elementary school established within a Bunun settlement anywhere in the county. More than a century later, the school still serves Lunshan Village, and today occupies the largest school campus and land area of any school in Zhuoxi Township — grounds rich with natural ecological resources that surround the classrooms with forest and mountain landscape.
崙山國小在花蓮縣的教育史上佔有特殊地位：創立於大正6年（1917年）日治時期，最初名為「崙布山蕃童教育所」，是全花蓮縣第一所設立於布農族部落內的小學。逾百年後的今天，學校仍持續服務崙山村，並擁有卓溪鄉全鄉最大的校地面積——豐富的自然生態資源環繞著校園，讓教室被森林與山巒景色包圍。

Zhuoxi Township, a Bunun mountain home.
Zhuoxi Township is a remote, mountainous district of Hualien County near Yushan National Park, home to a majority Bunun Indigenous population. Its eight elementary schools — and no junior high — reflect villages small enough that most students continue their education elsewhere after sixth grade. See the Hualien schools page for the full township list.
